Hey, I'm Candace Lim.

And I'm Kate Lindsay.

And you're listening to I see Y.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture. And Kate, I to I.C. Y.M.I. In case you missed it. Slate's podcast about internet culture.

And Kate, I had a certain photo make its way onto my desk this week. And by that, I mean my Twitter feed.

And when I saw it, I knew you were the one who could explain it to me. It is J.K. Rolling, smoking, smoking a cigar with the caption, I love when a plan comes together.

God, well, first, I hate that that made you think of me.

But second, yes, that's a real photo posted by J.K. Rowling herself.

She hit post, sensibly.

After the U.K. Supreme Court ruled on April 16th that the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex.

J.K. Rowling donated 70,000 pounds, which is around $90,000 to women, Scotland.

It's an organization that has been fighting for this ruling for some time. Can I first say that when I saw this photo, I thought it

was a behind-the-scenes shot of the White Lotus because I thought she looked like Jennifer Coolidge.

Oh my gosh. Now I need that like lifetime movie about office with Jennifer Coolidge.

Right. But second, is there a reason that it looked like something Andrew Tate would post?

I mean, I don't know the reasons for a lot of things. J.K. Rowling has posted these past, say, five years. You know, the Harry Potter author has become

increasingly more outspoken against efforts to make the world more inclusive for trans people.

While this ruling may seem like it's just about wording, that definition can now be used to

discriminate against trans people from what bathrooms they use to what kind of health care they

should receive. And to me, this kind of exclusion of the marginalized goes against the whole spirit of what I thought Harry Potter was about.

But I want to bring in someone who can speak to the full impact of this betrayal.
